This book traces Ramayana in Lanka, to unravel the historicity of Rama and Ravana. This brings to light the 7000-year-old, shared past of India and Sri Lanka. Ramayana is a historical epic of ancient India. A substantial portion of the events of Ramayana unfolded in the island of Lanka. So, it is as much a history of Sri Lanka as it is of India. If Rama is historical, so must also be Ravana, Vibhishana and the others in Lanka then. Just as Rama was a great king of India, Ravana was a great king of Lanka. This work looks at the events of Ramayana from the land of Lanka. It takes us on a geographical and historical trail across Sri Lanka, to understand Ravana, his qualities, His kingdom and his people better.
